One of their rookies has received a MASSIVE $49,000,000 contract offer from the Minnesota Wild, which some are doubting.

Given this deal, it is very probable that defenseman Matt Dumba will be traded at the NHL trade deadline due to the organization's minimal cap space.

Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed forward Matt Boldy to a seven-year, $49 million contract ($7 million average annual value) that goes through the 2029-30 season.

Personally this is a steal of a deal, but many are debating the team's decision to make such a significant investment so early in Boldy's career given that he is only 21 years old. Look at the comments section below to see what other fans have to say:
